Chapter 4 Luliang Town
"Why do you have to take blood?"
An official from the Eastern Court asked angrily.
"We are here to prevent foreign enemies from pretending to be the people of Tianxia and infiltrating the Qingyang Upper Continent, and you can only enter the inland after blood collection and testing. A black-clad prosecutor replied.
Although he had some truth in what he said, his attitude was very unfriendly, and he looked at everyone as if he were looking at a sinner, which made everyone feel very uncomfortable in their hearts.
Fan Lan stood in the distance and asked a subordinate official of the platform, "This chief, I don't know who they are?"
The subordinate looked around and whispered, "That's the person from the prosecutor's department, don't mess with them." ”
"What does the Prosecutor do?"
Fan Lan knew about the subordinate departments of the Tianxia continents sixty years ago, but he had never heard of the inspection department.
The subordinate said: "They are very big, and they are directly under the command of the imperial envoy.
Fan Lan thought for a while and tried to ask, "We are the Xuan Cultivators of the Xuan Mansion, do we have to be subject to this?"
The subordinate official said that he was powerless to do this, looked at him, and said, "The people of Xuanfu can't violate the laws of Qingyang Shangzhou." ”
Fan Lan bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, chief." ”
Back on the platform, the people of the Xuanfu were waiting here.
Qi Wu asked, "Senior brother, I don't know what the situation is?"
Fan Lan told him what he had inquired about,
Qi Wu said: "Then senior brother, what should we do next?
Fan Lan shook his head.
As a cultivator, not to mention blood, even the hair and nails on his body can't be taken away, because not to mention other cultivators, even the alien gods can directly calculate them through these things, so he is very repulsive to this kind of action.
If he himself could pay it back, there would be fifty young disciples, which he could not allow.
He said: "Wait a minute, don't worry, although we have arrived here, the situation is not familiar for the time being, there is no need to make a decision in a hurry, I asked just now, Senior Brother Zhang has already left first, and we can find someone from Taiyang Academy later, let the person who went out try to contact Senior Brother Zhang, ask him if he can help understand the things here, and then make a decision." ”
Zhang Yu walked along the country road, the road was very flat, and a row of trees were planted on both sides, which looked clean and neat.
At this time, a carriage drove from behind, driven by a black-haired young man, his face was flushed, and his facial features were very upright. He looked at Zhang Yu, who was walking, thought about it, then stopped the car, got off the car, walked closer, saluted him, and said enthusiastically: "This gentleman, you are from other places, right? But are you going to Luliang Town? If you don't dislike it, you might as well take my carriage and go together." ”
Zhang Yu was dressed in a smock and wearing a hat, and the style of his clothes was different from the people here, and he didn't deliberately hide it, so it was not surprising that he was from other places at a glance.
Although this young man still had a slight accent in his voice, in general, Tianxia Yayan still spoke well, and he said, "I'm going to Luliang Town, and Shaolang is from the town?"
The young man smiled like a sunny smile and said, "Yes, my name is Gong Yi, and I live in the town." ”
Zhang Yu's eyes moved to the carriage, the carriage was relatively simple and old, staring at a horizontal plank, which was obviously repaired after a recent break, and more interestingly, the horse pulled in front was also a creation.
When he went out to sea on the Hanjiang Worm, he also saw similar horses on the shore, tall and strong, with silent hooves and mist, which were very majestic and majestic.
However, this one looks much worse, the fur on the body is dull, the hair is almost gone, and the metal combined with flesh and blood looks old.
The horse sensed Zhang Yu's gaze and seemed a little uneasy, and its hooves kicked in place a few times.
Gong Yi was a little puzzled, he stepped forward and touched the neck of the old horse, which was only left with sparse sideburns, leaned into its ear and said: "Lao Qiu, it's okay, a guest from out of town, walking here alone, unfamiliar with life, we should help him." ”
The old horse quickly calmed down under the appeasement, and hit him with his head, which seemed particularly spiritual.
Zhang Yu can feel that there is a deep affection and tacit understanding between this person and a horse.
Gong Yi walked back and said a little embarrassed: "Lao Qiu is over fifty years old, and he is the first batch of metamorphosis in the Heavenly Machinery Department, although he is a little old, he is a good horse. ”
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "It's a good horse." ”
It is truly admirable that a creature of metal and flesh can have its own emotions and be so close to its master.
Gong Yi could hear his heartfelt praise, and was very happy, and said, "Sir, please get in the car, I drive very steadily." ”
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then thank Shaolang." ”
He came to the carriage and sat down, Gong Yi also got into the carriage, he waved the whip lightly, but it didn't actually fall on the old horse, the carriage moved slowly.
As Gong Yi said, although the carriage is not fast, it is very stable.
Although Lao Qiu is old, he is a metamorphosis after all, and it doesn't seem difficult to drag the two of them at all.
Zhang Yu chatted with Gong Yi for a few words, and learned that three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren lived in the town, his mother died early due to illness, his father served in the military government, was a lower-level military official, and there was a brother and a sister at home.
By the time we arrived in the town, it was already sunset, and the sky was getting dark, except for a trace of golden glow floating on the horizon.
Zhang Yu glanced at this time, and saw that in front of the gate of Luliang Town, there were two huge jade bibs, which were engraved with dense words, which were Tianxia Dalu and Qingyangzhou Xiaolu.
He asked Gong Yi to pause for a moment, and took a closer look from the car to see that some laws had indeed changed compared to sixty years ago.
The law of Qingyang Shangzhou is the first time he has seen it, but this is also derived from the Great Law, but the regulations are more detailed, according to the above statement, all foreign untitled people, including foreign beings, must be tested by the inspection department before they can enter.
For example, Miao Danjun belongs to foreign beings.
However, he is a Xia Shi, and he only needs to abide by the laws of Tianxia.
According to the Great Law, as long as he is responsible for the non-human beings he carries, and does not cause any trouble, then he will not be held accountable.
Gong Yi also walked over at this time, and said proudly: "This is the three village elders in Luliang Town, and the laws of Tianxia are all on it, and everyone who comes and goes can see it." ”
When the two were talking here, a middle-aged man who looked like a patrol was a little curious, walked over, he glanced at Zhang Yu, and asked Gong Yi, "Gong family Xiaolang, who is this?"
Gong Yi replied: "I met a gentleman on the road, and I saw him walking alone, so I drove him to our town." ”
"Oh?"
The middle-aged patrolman thought about it, walked up and hugged his fist at Zhang Yuyi, and said, "Dare to ask Mr. by name?"
Zhang Yu stretched out his hands, took off the hood, raised his hand casually, and said, "Zhang Yu, go to the Zhifu as a visitor, pass through your place." ”
When the middle-aged man saw his face, he was stunned, and his original vigilance suddenly dissipated, and he said enthusiastically: "I see, welcome Mr. to our Luliang Town, I am the town's patrol, if Mr. encounters any trouble, you can come to me Yang Ming." ”
He pulled Gong Yi over and took care of him again, "Gong family Xiaolang, you can entertain the guests well, don't be slow, tell me what you lack, don't let people think that we are stingy in Luliang Town." ”
Gong Yi nodded his head, he returned to Zhang Yu, and said with a salute: "Mr. Zhang, I have a big house there and eat cleanly, why don't you come to me tonight to stay for one night, and I will send Mr. to govern the mansion tomorrow." ”
Zhang Yu didn't refuse: "Then it's tiring." ”
Gong Yi was even happier and said, "Mr. come with me, my house is in front." ”
The two of them got into the car again and slowly walked along the town's main road.
Zhang Yu noticed that every house here was neatly repaired, every house had a courtyard and livestock shed, and plants and flowers were planted, and the road was sprinkled with clear water, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, without any smell of livestock manure.
And when I came all the way, I found that the townspeople here were all energetic, full of vitality and vitality, and treated people very politely, and when they saw him, an outsider, they would greet him kindly.
Gong Yi's residence is a three-story wooden house, the same front and back courtyards, seeing him come back, two children ran out of it laughing, Gong Yi and Zhang Yu introduced, this is his younger brother and sister, named Gong Zhi and Gong Shu respectively.
After Gong Yi sent "Lao Qiu" to the stable, he invited Zhang Yu to his home, prepared a not very rich but generous dinner, and also sent the town's home-brewed fruit wine.
After the table, the two children couldn't wait to ask him to talk about the outside.
Zhang Yu didn't pay attention to what food and silence at this time, he thought about it for a while, and didn't tell what he had seen and heard, so he told a few strange stories, his voice was very infectious, and the plot was twists and turns, and the two children were amazed.
After dinner, Gong Yi took Zhang Yu to the upstairs room and said, "Sir, these bedding have been washed and dried, what else does Mr. need, just tell me." ”
Zhang Yudao: "I'm bothering Shaolang." ”
Gong Yi smiled and said: "Sir, I haven't had a guest at home for a long time, sir, look at Gong Zhi, Gong Shu and they are so happy." ”
After talking for a while, Gong Yi retired, and when he went out, he didn't forget to close the door gently.
Zhang Yu walked to the window at this time and looked, the town was already lit up with flying lights, dotted with stars, and looking up, the thick branches of the big green banyan faintly overcame the extremely distant sky, and even made people feel unreal and illusory.
He stood and breathed for a moment, then came to his chair and saw the thermometer take out the booklet that had been given to him.
After taking a closer look, he also had some understanding of the "Prosecutor's Department".
Sixty years ago, the turbid tide arrived, and with it came not only all kinds of ancient gods and creatures, but also some things from the outside, and the most tricky thing in this was a parasite that could parasitize on the body of living beings and eventually replace them.
There is also a higher form among the parasites, called "nightmares", which can directly invade people's consciousness and gradually affect and change a person's temperament and thoughts, which is called "cognitive parasitism".
The important thing is that this kind of nightmare is very attracted by the light of the heart and spiritual power, but ordinary spiritual beings are unable to cause any damage because of their low intelligence, and even many "nightmares" still look down on these creatures, so the most targeted are monks.
Forty-two years ago, an incident occurred in Huaiyi County, Yizhou, a border area, because a middle-ranking monk was affected by a demon and slaughtered people, killing more than 100,000 people, and then due to the invasion of foreign enemies, millions of people were indirectly affected.
Since the monk's personal destructive power was too great and the restrictions were relatively few, after this incident, the Ilha Verde Governor and the Imperial Envoy set up a prosecutor's department to check the monk's parasitism.
After Zhang Yu looked at it, in all fairness, Qingyang Shangzhou's response method was right, but after anything was launched, there were both pros and cons, and if you could try to raise the pros and cons and reduce the disadvantages, it would be a good thing, otherwise it might go in the other direction.
Judging from Su Qian's attitude, he obviously has opinions on the prosecution department.
He looked at the booklet again, according to it, the demon was almost invisible, difficult to distinguish, and often the parasitic himself did not know, but the booklet gave a way to test himself at the end.
He thought about it for a moment and decided to give it a try.
